Beard Growth Oils – Literally Pissing Your Money Away

by Al PascarelliNovember 11, 2016

Hey guys. Lets talk beard growth oils & supplements. To quickly address the elephant in the room, any product claiming to make your beard grow in faster and fuller is made by con artist brands that don’t give a flying flock about you or your beard. They are selling snake oil by the truckload knowing full well their product has as much chance growing your beard at a magical rate as a rainbow hitting you in the face and turning you into a unicorn.

Now let’s break it down in a way we can all understand. Without getting overly scientific, these products generally work off the help of vitamin B7, also known as Biotin. Now vitamin B7 has been shown to promote hair growth and strength, but we have to dig a little deeper. Biotin is a water-soluble nutrient found in the vitamin B family. It is RARE that someone has a deficiency in Biotin. This is key to understanding claims of beard growth oils/supplements. Biotin is found in many food sources including:

LITERALLY PISSING YOUR MONEY AWAY

So if someone doesn’t have a deficiency in Biotin, why not just take a truckload more and grow a Rip Van Winkle beard? Welp, because Biotin is water-soluble. What that basically means is the body will take the amount it needs and then discharge the rest through urine. Basically you’ll piss out all the money you spent on this fancy beard growth oil or supplement.

But listen, all hope is not lost. Your lifestyle may be your own worst enemy when it comes to growing out your facial hair. With a few changes you may actually experience some gains. So what can you do to give your beard its best shot at glory?

Eat healthy- Get your vitamins naturally and affordably through food and/or a multivitamin.

Exercise- The circulation will help deliver those vitamins in the most efficient way possible.

Reduce Stress- Physical and mental stress have been proven to slow the growth of hair and facial hair.

Sleep- Ideally around 8 hours should do it. Cells regenerate when you sleep, your face is no exception.

Condition- Use an organic beard oil to condition and moisturize your beard and the skin under it. Make sure it has vitamin E which is great for the skin underneath your beard, at all lengths of hair. We have some amazing ones right here .

As a last word, beard growth supplements and oils need to be thrown in the same drawer as male enhancement pills that make your wand 14 inches. The drawer of infinite regret and tears. The drawer of ‘but you promised me.’ Take that drawer, throw it in the trash can, look at yourself in the mirror and say “I may be a lot of things…I may be super handsome, super intelligent, funny as hell, the sharpest tool in the toolshed, quick as a whip…but the one thing I am not is a sucker.”

Save a friend’s wallet, time and hope. There are many brands out there making small fortunes off the hopes of men who struggle to grow out their beard. Share this post to help men out there gain a little insight into the products they may be considering purchasing.
